Our arts program aims to enhance the creative and cultural development of each student. We recognize the importance and value of arts education in fostering personal growth, aesthetic appreciation, critical thinking, social interaction, and sound judgment. Our curriculum is aligned with national standards for art education and features age-appropriate goals and meaningful artistic experiences for all students.
The curriculum includes a range of art history lessons that allow students to connect the work of various artists with their own creations. Additionally, students engage in cross-curricular projects that complement their work in academic classes.
